[Fennel](https://fennel-lang.org/) is another clojure-like language
that compiles down to [lua](https://shared.btbytes.com/p/lua) created by
[Phil HagelBerg "technomancy"](https://technomancy.us).

> Anywhere you can run Lua code, you can run Fennel code.

[Phil Hagelberg/Technomancy](https://technomancy.us/) has [three](https://technomancy.us/187).[blog](https://technomancy.us/188).[posts](https://technomancy.us/189) about using Fennel to write a new game [EXO_encounter](https://technomancy.itch.io/exo-encounter-667) that is hosted on *itch.io* (which itself is written by Lua-u* *leafo*).

Here is an [introductory post](https://technomancy.us/186) on Fennel by Technomancy.
